Fanfiction:
What do you think of fanfiction? In general—do you think it’s a fun thing or a trespass on an author/producer’s world? And of course, obviously specific authors have very firm and very differing opinions about this, yet it’s getting more popular and more mainstream all the time. Do you ever read or write it yourself?

I don't consider it a trespas, but a lot more fun. It satisfies fantasies that the author left unsatisfied for some fans. And if an author is not fond of this kind of stuff, s/he should just keep away from the scene and let the fans live in their bubbles of love. We create them, we live them. Live and let live. No harm done to anyone.

I personally am reading and writing FFs more in the manga/anime department, but on occasion I browse through the book and movie ones, too. However, I find with the latter there are a lot less to chose from, and rarely what I am looking for. And I generally am not reading so much FF anymore, simply because now I have so many books on my pile.

Something I don't get (and don't like) is the matter of crossover fics. How could you just mix two or more worlds together? That's smashing rules of those worlds together, annihilating some and creating paradoxons and THAT is a violation/trespassing in my eyes. But, as I stated above, I just keep away from the scene and let the fans of it be.

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title: Raging StarSeries: Dust Lands 3Author: Moira Young

Language: EnglishExpected Publication: April 15, 2014

Summary:

Saba is ready to seize her destiny and defeat DeMalo and the Tonton...until she meets him and he confounds all her expectations with his seductive vision of a healed earth, a New Eden. DeMalo wants Saba to join him, in life and work, to create and build a healthy, stable, sustainable world…for the chosen few. The few who can pay.
Jack’s choice is clear: to fight DeMalo and try to stop New Eden. Still uncertain, her connection with DeMalo a secret, Saba commits herself to the fight. Joined by her brother, Lugh, anxious for the land in New Eden, Saba leads an inexperienced guerilla band against the powerfully charismatic DeMalo, in command of his settlers and the Tonton militia. What chance do they have? Saba must act. And be willing to pay the price.

Why I am looking forward to this: I haven't read book two, Rebel Heart, yet, but Blood Red Road left a very good impression, and I am looking forward to reading on and finishing this trilogy, because Saba is one awesome kickass chic, and Jack is a sweet daredevil, and DeMalo didn't have much to do yet but I suspected he would become a second love interested... Very curious about his real character!

Right into the action, this one. I like that. Looking forward to the whole story, have been holding out on it for so long. And I hope to read Fracture Me and Ignite Me right after that, to finish the trilogy, and then... Well, I hope the overall picture it leaves me as breathless as reading Shatter Me did.
